Donald Trump
Media reports that Donald trump was meeting with the Russian Ambassador in Washington Sergei Kislyak in April 2016 that is not true. On Tuesday, 7 March, journalists of the newspaper the Huffington Post said the first Deputy press Secretary of the White house Sarah Sanders.
We are talking about a reception held in Washington at the Mayflower research Center for the national interest. It was attended by four ambassadors from several countries, one of them was Kislyak. According to Sanders, trump stayed at the reception for about five minutes, and then took the podium to speak.
“We have absolutely not remember to whom he could shake hands at a reception, and we are not responsible for who was invited and how checked of guests, — said the representative of the White house. — Those who claim that the meeting took place, is disingenuous and very misleading”.
According to Sanders, trump was not the slightest possibility of communication with the Russian Ambassador. “After trump gave a speech, he returned to the waiting area, and then left the hotel, he absolutely did not have any time or opportunity for a personal meeting with anyone. In addition, his movements controlled the Secret service”, she explained.
Reporters asked her to comment on the publication in The Wall Street Journal of may 13, 2016, where it was alleged that in April of 2016 before his speech at the Mayflower trump “warmly welcomed Kislyak and the other three ambassadors.”
In early March, 2017 and CNN, the Washington Post reported that before Jeff sessions was approved in the positions of Prosecutor General and head of the justice Department, he contacted Kislyak. And in early February it became known about the phone conversations of US presidential Advisor on national security Michael Flynn with the Russian diplomat. Flynn was eventually forced to resign.
In January it was reported that US intelligence agencies are investigating possible ties between members of the team trump with Moscow. It was noted that investigators have information about certain financial transactions. Trump any political or business ties with Russia denies.
